"It's outrageous that immigration detention facilities have morphed into college campuses," said Rep. Elton Gallegy (R-Calif.). "Under this administration, detention looks more like recess," Smith proclaimed. Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) attempted to turn the immigrant rights advocates' figures against them, arguing that, comparatively speaking, the number of detainees who have died while awaiting deportation is actually quite small: "110 deaths is not alarming to me," he explained, suggesting that immigrants were actually safer in an ICE detention center than they were "in the broader society."
In February, DHS unveiled a new set of guidelines designed to crack down on sexual assault and inhumane conditions at immigrant detention centers. On Wednesday, House Republicans held a hearing to accuse the Obama administration of coddling detainees.
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THESE PEOPLE. Why are they wasting time holding a motherfucking hearing specifically to whine at Obama about being too nice to other human beings? Why aren’t they fixing the fucking the economic crisis? Can we cancel these people’s paychecks or something? They’re not doing their job.
